And yet very few positive threads about the manager and the lads.
I dread to think the meltdown this forum would be having with 3 losses on the spin without scoring.
Just goes to show that a lot of posters on this forum thrive on the negativity.
Very sad indeed.
I didn't see this streak of wins coming and it is encouraging to see that Harris can get a reaction when needed. 3 wins and 3 clean sheets is a top quality return.
I think you would have seen a reaction from fans had it been 3 losses due to what has come before these 3 games. 3 wins in 13 and 14 points from 39 for a club like ours is simply not good enough. We are still in 11th place and 4 points off the play offs which is below where the board wanted us to be and certainly a lot worse than many fans expected given the fact we finished 5th last season.
The three results have been very encouraging though and hopefully a sign of things to come. The fans on here don't see eye to eye on a lot of issues but I think we all want success for the club, be that with Harris or not. If he was to turn it around and put the team in place for a promotion charge then I would be as happy as anybody and admit I was wrong. I was certainly wrong with the last 3 games and am not the biggest fan of Harris but would love for him to prove me wrong if it meant City kicking on.
I hope our victory hasn’t spoilt your weekend Lew. You sound rattled. :hehe:Quote:

Nevermind, games are coming thick and fast, we are bound to lose one soon such is the nature of the championship and then you can get the knives out again.
Not at all. The last 3 games made a refreshing change.Quote:

Results like the last three in the style we won the games will go a long way to changing my mind though.
As for the knives I'll try to remain a bit more balanced going forward. I honestly thought he had lost the dressing room but the recent results show that is certainly not the case.
The manager isn’t fashionable enough for some fans and it’ll always hinder him. Since the start he’s done well, tried to get the team playing better stuff and got us into the playoffs despite not having the best squad.Quote:

Bit odd you have posted about people posting negatively by posting negative instead of just posting a positive like you want. Strange.Quote:

Everyone deserves as much credit for the last 3 wins as they do the reuslts before. Can't people take an opinion over a long area of time and decide what's right and wrong and give an opinion (timed to the sensitive posters like you going forward - apologies again)

I know perfectly well what going on. It’s the championship, there will be ups and downs. We’d have to have 6 or 7 managers a season if you and your ilk had your way with the mass hysteria after every bump in the road.Quote:

However, you still cant bring yourself to admit you were wrong and that your comments were ill judged and basically ridiculous bearing in mind what was achieved last season and the improvements to the squad this season. Harris is a young, British, ex player for the club and well respected coach/manager with experience in this division who is reorganising and rebuilding the team/club and gradually changing the way we play. Pity you cant realise and accept that.Quote:

Wow,didn't realise that.Quote:

I still don't think he should be sacked though. And you must admit that three losses would be a bigger story than the three wins. It would have meant 1 point from 18. Desperate stuff.
It appears the owner you so admire couldn't accept that either.Quote:

That's what a decent manager does, he improves players and we as supporters witness it and take some positivity away from the result. That wasn't happening. Add to that the lack of self belief and desire when things weren't going our way, attributes we've never been short on in order to compensate for our lack of ability with a ball. Make no mistake, we are in the shit, there's nothing positive out there on match day. I don't think that people realise how bad we've become, i've seen league 1 teams play better football than us. added to that some urgency and confidence.Quote:

I can see the logic, it's a Warnock thing, confidence is incredibly low, players look dejected, unhappy, unwilling to take risks, that needs turning around very quickly, that's the priority at this moment in time, forget tactics and philosophy. My only concern is that Uncle Mick does a turn and the mad bastards down there offer him a 3 year deal. Bring him in, get confidence up, install self belief and a bit of happiness on the pitch. In the meantime, search for someone younger and a bit more progressive.
